Finding new love as a single mum

Hi,

I know this might sound a bit silly but I've got a friend who recently separated from her husband and she's got two kids. We were having a conversation today where I think I may (maybe with good reasoning) put my foot in.

Ever since she left her DP she's been complaining that no one will ever want her now because she is a single mum. I then went on to say, that she will but it will take some time and most single men w/o kids don't really want to date anyone with kids. Is this right or wrong?

Also, I think that men tend to find single mums as an "easy target" and therefore you can get a lot of losers come your way. I'd like to know, does it matter to men whether a woman has kids or not as long as he loves her and then the children come as a package. Personally, if I ever got divorced I wouldn't care whether I had one child or 10 kids because bottom line is your children are your blood. Men will come and go but your kids will never leave you, so why care if someone accepts you or not...you already have the most precious gift in the world.

Any one found love after having 2,3,4....kids?

A friend of mine had 3 children under 10 when she met her current DP, who is wonderful. They have recently got engaged and she is so happy.

I myself have 3 DC's (2 at home) and.am.hoping that one day I might get dating again, although it's a bit too soon now.

I feel that if she's meeting different guys on the net, bringing them to your house straight away for a "leg over" whilst her kids are asleep upstairs

Who TF even does that???

Also, I think that men tend to find single mums as an "easy target

Incorrect - men see women with no self esteem as an easy target. Some us have careers as well as children..

Dear god.
